Summary
As a sales professional, throughout my career I have always been passionate about building relationships
and adopting new concepts that better myself, my company and my client’s experience.
During this time, I have had the privilege of working alongside talented individuals at major companies,
such as Staples and ADP, in various offices throughout North America.
I now work at LinkedIn, as a Sales Solutions Account Executive, in New York City. As of July 2013,
LinkedIn passed the 238 million members mark, and we continue to add members at a rate of two
members every second! We continue to strive to connect the world’s professionals, making them more
productive and successful.
LinkedIn Sales Solutions affords me the opportunity to work with sales organizations to share how social
selling can generate sales opportunities that otherwise may have gone unnoticed. Social selling changes
the game by allowing users the ability to discover the sales insight necessary for a sales organization to
effectively engage prospects and close deals. This is made possible by leveraging LinkedIn’s flagship
product, “Sales Navigator.”
My areas of expertise include: B2B sales, prospecting, lead generation and relationship building, focusing
on the mid-market space.
